I got my GCSE maths result today...?

Question

I only took one GCSE this year which was maths. There were two papers each was out of 100 so it should be a score out of 200 for those papers but on the website it says it's out of 480. This doesn't include the coursework its just the papers. I got 465 out of 480, can anyone tell me what I got out of 200 or how to find it out?

Answer 1

I got happy when i got 477/480, but cswt says 96/120

i do not understand the marking system.

Answer 2

Perhaps they added weighting to the paper?

465/480 is 96.875%.

96.875% of 200 is 193.75.

So you got (rounded up) 194/200.

But as you did so well in the paper, you knew how to work that out already...

Answer 3

You can't find out from the points score your exact marks, but it will be about 97 marks a paper. It's all to do with the weightings of the paper (for example, my paper 1 was a joke it was so easy, so it'll have less points assigned to it than paper 2). That's a really high mark, so well done.

I got 480 out of 480, so I was very happy this morning! Who said state schools were bad?

Answer 4

well its already been roughly workes out for you

Answer 5

Answer 6

I got just under 465 out of 480 no lie, and I got an A*. So you've got an A*! Well done :)
